That depends on the monomer
- Carbohydrates have the elements Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
- Amino acids have the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen
- Nucleotides have the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus.
- Lipid is a broad category that may contain some or all of the elements listed above.

What are the most common element in polymers?
The most common element in polymers is carbon.
Where do the starting materials for most polymers come from?
um i think they form from monomers
Is oxygen the element that forms the backbone of most polymers?
False the answer is carbon not oxygen ^_^
What element forms the backbone of most polymers?
None. All elements are unique.
Which macromolecules are polymers made of nucleotides?
Nucleic acids are polymers made from chains nucleotide monomers. The most well known of which are DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
What are the most common element in polymers?
The most common element in polymers is carbon.
When monomers form to polymers what compound is removed?
In most biological polymers, it is water. This is called dehydration synthesis

Large organic molecules that are synthesized from multiple subunits are?
Molecules that are synthesised from multiple subunits are known as polymers. The subunits are known as monomers. An example of a polymer is a protein, which is made up of amino acid subunits (monomers). A large organic molecule, usually created by polymerisation of monomers is known as a macromolecule. This includes nucleic acids, proteins and carbohydrates.
What element forms the backbone of most polymers?
None. All elements are unique.
Which enzyme will help you hydrolyze polymers into disaccharides or monomers after eating carbohydrates?
The most common enzyme would be salivary/pancreatic amylase which hydrolyzes the polysaccharide amylose.
Which macromolecules are polymers made of nucleotides?
Nucleic acids are polymers made from chains nucleotide monomers. The most well known of which are DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
What is the ratio in C H and O in monosaccharides?
1:2:1,_">1:2:1,_">1:2:1,_">The answer you want: 1:2:1, (Carbon 1:Hydrogen 2:Oxygen 1)carbohydrates (C6H12O6) -> (6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energyC6H12O6 + 6 O2). Most carbohydrates have a ratio of 1:2:1 of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, respectively. == What_is_food?_Foods_can_be_classified_by_the_large_molecules_that_it_contains:_carbohydrates,_fats,_proteins._These_large_molecules_are_polymers_(long_chains)_of_simpler_molecules_(monomers)._For_example,_sugars_(monomers)_linked_together_make_complex_carbohydrates_such_as_starch_(a_polymer)._Likewise,_amino_acids_(monomers)_linked_together_make_proteins_(polymers)._The_fruits,_vegetables,_grains_and_meats_that_we_eat_contain_different_amounts_and_different_varieties_of_carbohydrates,_fats_and_proteins.">What_is_food?_Foods_can_be_classified_by_the_large_molecules_that_it_contains:_carbohydrates,_fats,_proteins._These_large_molecules_are_polymers_(long_chains)_of_simpler_molecules_(monomers)._For_example,_sugars_(monomers)_linked_together_make_complex_carbohydrates_such_as_starch_(a_polymer)._Likewise,_amino_acids_(monomers)_linked_together_make_proteins_(polymers)._The_fruits,_vegetables,_grains_and_meats_that_we_eat_contain_different_amounts_and_different_varieties_of_carbohydrates,_fats_and_proteins.">What is food? Foods can be classified by the large molecules that it contains: carbohydrates, fats, proteins. These large molecules are polymers (long chains) of simpler molecules (monomers). For example, sugars (monomers) linked together make complex carbohydrates such as starch (a polymer). Likewise, amino acids (monomers) linked together make proteins (polymers). The fruits, vegetables, grains and meats that we eat contain different amounts and different varieties of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
Can lipids be polymers?
Lipids tend to be large, single molecules with no obvious repeating pattern. They are very important as macromolecules in the life sciences. Polymers which are repeating chains of monomers include carbohydrates, proteins and nucleic acids. Lipids are macromolecules that do not repeat. Ester linkages formed through dehydration Carbohydrates, Proteins and Nucleic Acids are polymers that repeat Cabohydrate glycosidic linkages formed through dehydration.
Why some heavier planets may have hydrogen?
Hydrogen is the most commonly observed element in the universe and is likely contained in every planet.
Is plastic made of 1 element?
Most materials called "plastics" are polymers of organic compounds containing more than one element. However, ductile metals such as gold and silver satisfy some technical definitions of at least the adjective "plastic".
